Bernie has been waiting patiently for his forever home, and he hasn't given up hope. He was with the same people from the time he was a kitten, only to be left behind when they moved. Since then, he's shown an easy charm: affectionate, funny, and brave—all the things a loyal companion should be. Bernie thrives on belly rubs and is always up for a round of play with his toy mice. Give him some catnip and he'll roll around with abandon, happy as can be. Once he's gotten his playtime in and his fill of brushing and chin scratches, Bernie is all about snuggling. He kneads the air and purrs hard when he’s getting pets, and he’s quick to curl up beside you for some real downtime. Bernie needs to be the only pet in the house—other dogs and cats make him anxious, and he’s happiest as the sole focus of your attention. If you’re searching for a genuinely loving cat who appreciates a quiet, affectionate life, Bernie is ready. Click apply to start the adoption process.
